Don't rock the boat...

...because you might get burned. The lumps in gravy can be napalm-like when they contact the skin.

Well my pretties, this is my first try at a blog. I've been almost nowhere, for long stretches I speak to pretty well no one outside of my own home and I have few interests or cool hobbies. I love my family and I like sports. I listen to music a lot but I really don't like to talk about it. For some reason I've really lost interest in movies in recent years. Long periods spent living and/or being alone have turned me into a certified talk-radio junkie and the advent of all-sports radio has only intensified my addiction. I'm really good at certain (what I feel are important) aspects of my job while being mediocre at best when it comes to the parts I don't care about. My employer for 24 of the last 25 years has never bounced a paycheque so therefore I love them. My wife of 9 years doesn't pay me but is among the kindest, most patient people on Earth so I actually mean it when I say I love her. My life has also been blessed by the presence of my 17 year-old daughter who was the only good thing to come out of my doomed first marriage. There's lots more personal stuff I could say, but: 1.)Talking about myself makes me (and probably you) sleepy and 2.) I seriously doubt that too many of those who venture aboard my magical gravy boat will be shrinks.

Thus concludes the "getting to know me " section of our journey. Next time bring along some kind of restraining device for yourself because gravy boats aren't equipped with seatbelts...
